For one of his posters, Jake received Best poster award nomination! Congrats Jake!

Today, it was so good to attend the Annual WiMSE banquet organized by 

Grad student Jacob Pfund presented one talk and one poster at the APS March meeting in Las Vegas (4-10 March 2023).

Dr. Jain has been invited to give a talk in the ISAF 2023 meeting in July 2023.

On 22nd Feb, Dr. Jain hosted two groups of UConn undergraduate students in STEM fields in her lab.

Dr. Jain visited Smith College, MA to recruit female undergraduate students for summer research work funded by a DEI grant from CLAS with Prof. Lea Santos and Prof. Ilya Sochnikov.

Two physics undergraduate students, Michael Frank and Nicholas Thiel-Hudson, joined the group. Welcome Michael and Nick!

Physics graduate student Zachary Ritchey joined the group as a PhD student. Welcome Zach!

New home of Dr. Jain’s lab is in the new ‘SCIENCE 1’ building. Jain’s labs are in room 1075 and 1076 on the 1st floor of the building. Do plan to visit the new labs!

Quantum matter and materials have grown to be active areas of modern condensed matter. The fascinating properties of quantum materials might lead to technological applications such as spintronics, quantum technologies, and quantum sensors. The combination of new materials discoveries and the development of new probes of quantum matter has helped shape these topics into an exciting area. Recent dynamic and pumped probe experiments reveal a strong promise of Dynamic Quantum Matter as a new research direction. We strive to measure, understand and predict transient correlations and coherences in quantum materials upon different driving conditions. Therefore, we introduce it as a new topic at this year’s quantum matter conference. We had an active discussion on hidden, entangled, and dynamic orders that emerge in quantum matter and the potential applications beyond it. The main focus for this workshop was on the modeling and experimental observations of Quantum Matter. Overall, the goal of this workshop was to bring together researchers to discuss and highlight emerging topics and develop ideas for future research. The workshop was sponsored by the University of Connecticut, the Nordic Institute for Theoretical Physics, and the University of North Florida.
